Against a backdrop of tightening global environmental regulations and growing demand for sustainable waste recycling, the proper handling of refrigerants from end-of-life home appliances has become a critical compliance and operational challenge. Refrigerants like R22, R134a, and R410A, commonly found in old air conditioners and refrigerators, pose significant environmental risks if released, contributing to ozone depletion and greenhouse gas emissions. Waste recycling factories face pressure to process units efficiently while adhering to strict standards, requiring high-capacity, reliable, and multi-refrigerant compatible recovery solutions.
Client & Application Scenario
Our client is a large-scale waste recycling factory specializing in the dismantling of used home appliances, including split air conditioners, window units, and refrigerators. Their primary need was to recover refrigerants from a high volume of units per hour, covering R22, R134a, and R410A, to ensure compliance, maximize material reuse, and avoid operational bottlenecks. They deployed one ChunMu CM580 Series Refrigerant Recovery Machine dedicated to their continuous dismantling line.
Pain Points & ChunMu’s Solution (with Key Technical Parameters)
The client faced several key challenges with previous equipment:
- Low throughput: Older machines struggled to handle high volumes, limiting daily processing capacity.
- Contamination risks: Poor oil and impurity removal led to unreusable refrigerant and compliance concerns.
- Incomplete recovery: High residual refrigerant due to insufficient vacuum levels created safety and environmental hazards.
- Complex operations: Cumbersome setups slowed workflows and increased labor costs.
The ChunMu CM580 Series directly addressed these issues with industrial-grade specifications:
- Throughput: Rated at 80–200 units per hour, matching the client’s high-volume dismantling rhythm.
- Compressor & Efficiency: 15–30HP 3-stage compression with a large displacement of 57m³/h, ensuring fast and consistent recovery.
- Vacuum Performance: Achieves a final suction pressure of -0.095 MPa, guaranteeing near-zero residual refrigerant.
- Purification: Fully automatic oil and air removal system, eliminating cross-contamination and ensuring recycled refrigerant purity.
- Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: Seamlessly handles R22, R134a, and R410A without modifications.
- Operational Flexibility: Supports 8 standard recovery stations (expandable to 15–20), enabling parallel processing for maximum efficiency.
- Safety & Compliance: Equipped with pressure detection, overpressure protection, and CE certification, meeting strict environmental and safety standards.
Client Feedback
The client expressed high satisfaction with the ChunMu CM580 Series:
“Since deploying the CM580, our refrigerant recovery process has transformed. It runs steadily at 80–200 units per hour, even with mixed R22, R134a, and R410A units. The recovery is complete, oil separation is automatic, and we no longer worry about residual refrigerant or contamination. The multi-port recovery setup keeps our dismantling line moving without bottlenecks. This machine has become the backbone of our refrigerant recycling operation.”
The ChunMu CM580 Series has proven to be a robust, high-performance solution for waste recycling factories, addressing the core pain points of low efficiency, contamination, incomplete recovery, and compliance risks. By combining high throughput, multi-refrigerant compatibility, deep vacuum recovery, and automatic purification, it enables clients to boost operational efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and ensure regulatory compliance. This case demonstrates ChunMu’s ability to deliver tailored, industrial-grade solutions that meet the evolving needs of the refrigerant recovery industry.
